BackgroundImaging of in vitro neuronal differentiation and measurements of cell morphologies has led to novel insights into neuronal development. Live-cell imaging techniques and large datasets of images has increased the demand for automated pipelines for quantitative analysis of neuronal morphological metrics. ResultsWe present ANDA, an analysis workflow for quantification of various aspects of neuronal morphology from high-throughput live-cell imaging screens. This tool automates the analysis of neuronal cell numbers, neurite lengths and neurite attachment points. We used rat, chicken and human in vitro models for neuronal differentiation and have demonstrated the accuracy, versatility, and efficiency of the tool. ConclusionsANDA is an open-source tool that is easy to use and capable of automated processing from time-course measurements of neuronal cells. The strength of this pipeline is the capability to analyse high-throughput imaging screens.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
